TAMANDA NAZITWERE GOLOZERA - GRADUATE FLYING HIGH

Tamanda Golozera is flying high as one of the first females to graduate from the University of Wolverhampton's Aerospace Engineering course.

Tamanda, 35 from Donnington in Telford, is a mature student with two children and had always been fascinated by aircraft.

As a child growing up in Malawi, Tamanda flew to and from a boarding school known as Kamuzu Academy every term for six years and loved the experience of flying as well as being fascinated by the planes she flew in.  She originally wanted to be a pilot but couldn't afford the training.

She instead opted to study Law, with A Levels in Law, Geography, Economics and Biology. Tamanda was accepted onto the course and enrolled at Holborn College in London for a law degree which was affiliated with University of London, but her heart was still on wanting to train to become a pilot or do something that was related to planes. 10 years later, still wanting to do something in aviation, she followed her heart and started searching for aviation courses.

After looking on the internet for courses related to aviation, she found the Aerospace Engineering course at the University of Wolverhampton which focused on the design and build of aircraft. Tamanda was accepted onto the course and studied for a Bachelor of Engineering (with Honours) in Aerospace Engineering at the Telford Innovation Campus.
